Break

Valerie
Most of you might be familiar of the retro game, Arkanoid. The main point of the game was to bounce a ball off a moving platform in order to break down various colored bricks. This was a very popular game during the time and quite a lot of remakes were done along with a similar gameplay. Break is another one of these remakes but this time, it's set and made perfect for the iPad platform. The game was developed by Jirbo Inc. and made available as a free download on iTunes. It works on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. If you are too young to remember Arkanoid, then you might want to give this game a try. Definitely good fun.

If you're like me and you just hate having to use small keyboards when typing messages on your smart phone or computer, then go ahead and give Speak-A-Message a try. Even though most of us are already adept and have no problems typing away in front of our little gadgets all day, there are those who prefer to just talk and record a message for one reason or another. With this nifty tool, it's easier to send voice messages or transcribe a spoken message into text and send it off as an email. It's a great piece of software to have if you have typing problems too.

Tsars: Whispers EP

Valerie
Fairly new in the indie music world, Tsars only got together early this year. Considering the short time, the guys have managed to release two compilations. Whispers EP is their first official debut and contains 6 tracks bordering on indie alternative to a floaty Brit hipster sound. Their sound is reminiscent of lazy hipster rock and makes me think of The Cribs only more melancholic. Made up of Alexi Mcnulty Bakas (Vocals/ Guitar), Corey Eyres (Guitar/ B.Vocals), Ross Powley (Bass/ B.Vocals) and Lawrence Artitzone (Drums/ B.Vocals.) They've been playing around together in different bands before deciding to form this one.

The Machine

Valerie
The Machine is a colorful new game that you can download and play for free. Even though it's just a demo, it's still pretty entertaining and worth checking out. The game is very logical so don't expect to figure this one out via hit or miss. In the game, you are an assigned engineer who creates blocks, both colored and not colored. Your job though consists of creating a machine to create the blocks that you need. You'll have several parts at your disposal that you would need to assemble and put together the machine in order to start production.
